As part of this course I have been asked to create a wiki that helps others who are trying to "survive" in the midst of this technological evolution happening all around us!
What amazes me most is that this evolution is constant, extremely innovative and especially pertinent to educators from kindergarten to graduate school. There is so much to explore...so much to learn...and ultimately so much to add to our repertoire of teaching strategies.
The effects of this evolution seems to be transforming every area of education! By the time most of us hear of "something new" in educational technologies it has evolved several times already! I doesn't take long for a "new" technology to become obsolete as newer versions or concepts burst around us!
In this particular wiki I will be addressing some of the technologies that beginning teachers might choose to use in their classrooms.
